All bikes and vehicles are to be equipped with GPS trackers at the men’s and women’s Tour de Suisse this month, in a bid to improve rider safety.
It comes after two high-profile crashes and deaths at bike races in Switzerland – Gino Mäder at the Tour de Suisse in 2023 and Muriel Furrer during the junior women’s road race at the World Championships in Zürich in September last year.
